A few days ago, a ridiculous theft incident occurred in Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany——A 15-year-old boy stole a city bus to take his 14-year-old girlfriend to school. In the early morning of the day of the incident, the teenager sneaked into the parking lot of a local bus company, opened the door using special means, and used a master key to start the vehicle.
Subsequently, the teenager drove the bus alone for about 130 kilometers on the highway. At noon, he picked up his girlfriend in Karlsruhe and was about to take her to school when he was discovered and intercepted by the local patrol police.
Surprisingly,After the long journey, the bus was intact without any collision or accident, and was subsequently returned to the bus company.
The teenager was investigated by the police on suspicion of theft and driving without a license. Since he was underage, the police returned him to the supervision of his legal guardian. The case is still under further investigation.
Under German law, minors who commit crimes are usually treated lightly and may face penalties such as community service, fines or probation.
However, two questions puzzled investigators:The first is how the teenager obtained the master key to the bus; the second is why he can drive a large bus so skillfully. After all, at the age of 15, he has not yet reached the legal age for driving a motor vehicle in Germany..
The incident quickly sparked heated discussions on German social media, with some calling it "the craziest confession of love" and others worried about the safety hazards of minors accessing transportation and the security loopholes of bus companies.
